| MUMBAI:
Ignitee Digital Solutions Pvt. Ltd, India's leading digital marketing company
supports "Teach For India", a nationwide movement that aims to bridge
the educational gap in India by placing outstanding college graduates and young
professionals in low-income schools with a motive of imparting education over
a period of two years. These children will be provided with intensive training
by "Teach For India" and supported to becoming life-long leaders in
sectors that they choose thereby advocating educational equity. Speaking
on the Occasion, Mr. Sandy Pinto, Sr. Vice President, Ignitee says, "It is
overwhelming to support an organization of such lineage. Teach for India, a part
of the "Teach for All Network" group, comprises of independent social
enterprises that are working to expand educational opportunities in their nations.
Teach for America's (TFA) impact is one such example. The organisation aims at
ending inequity in education and it is our privilege to be part of this movement.
Seldom do we get an opportunity to make a difference to the society. Teach for
India is one such initiative where we would be proud of ourselves as we would
be doing our bit to empower our country with the most invaluable asset, 'Education
for all'.
TFA
currently serves 35 urban and rural regions and has been working in full force
since 1990 having nearly 3 million students, with a batch size of 7,300 and continues
to mobilize more than 17,000 alumni, including 246 school leaders and 15 elected
officials. Ignitee
has not only designed the website (www.teachforindia.org) with powerful creatives
to attract the brightest young professionals but also developed a detailed online
application process to do away with cumbersome paper applications. The website
now has a striking creative that ensures users to spend a few minutes to understand
the movement and a detailed online application form developed keeping online sensibilities
in mind and made completely flexible so that users could start the process, save
information, and make changes along the way, similar to the way applicants would
apply online for B-schools in the US. |
